How to play?

The game consists of constructing a puzzle which ideally is composed of a 5x5 grid, where each row represents a category and can contain five puzzle tiles. Each row of the puzzle is characterized by a different joint that allows you to connect only tiles of the same category. After placing all the tiles divided by category and order of use on the table, the adult helps the child to familiarize with them, observing the drawings and descriptions on the back, so that he/she learns to recognize them more quickly.

Adults and children assemble the frame of their own "picture" of the story, thus creating an internal construction space where the 5 lines to be filled with tiles can be identified. Once the puzzle is built, the child will be able to tell his story!

The different categories

In the first row the child can build the setting of the story he/she  is inventing. In the second row the child can choose the characters of his/her story. The third row is devoted to thoughts. In the fourth row, the child can decide, among the emotions depicted and described on the back, which one to use for his/her story, indicating what the characters feel. The fifth row is reserved for customization: here only 5 empty tiles fit together, which can be rewritten with the felt-tip pen provided, in which the child can draw and write whatever he/she wants, to add new categories to the story that he/she has invented according to his/her imagination, desires, inner world and dreams.

The flexibility of use and the useful internal guide book make this puzzle easily usable by psychologists and psychotherapists, teachers and parents.
